ALCE AND CENL

CENL collaborates closely with ALCE in the dissemination of language, culture and science in Spanish by conducting scientific workshops where many of the researches of our members are made known to students of all ages in these classrooms. ALCE children enjoy fun activities that bring them closer to the world of science in a playful and creative way.
